SYMPATHY WITH THE SEVEN.
Disappolntment nj ahe Apathy OF the
Public.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S,-To the forty men
and dozen women who attended the meet
ing of the Amnesty Association on the
night of Oct. 20, President L. s. Oliver
made remarkable statement. He said
that he had been greatly disappointed at
not receiving more petitions with sigma.
lures from the States, outside Of Illinois,
asking for the Communication of the sen.
tence for the condemned anarchists. He
believed the only way to account for not
receiving them was that they had been
tempered with in the United States mail.
In many cases in answer to request he
had sent rolls of blank petitions to parties
in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New
York two or three times over and still
they would write that the matter had
never been received. Mrs Holmes, who
was an associate editor ON the Arbeiter
Ieitung before the Haymarket riot
jumped up and said she had been threat.
ened with arrest by the authorities at
present In office for mailing amnesty pc.
titlons. Oliver replied that she could not
DO arrested but that those making such
threats were liable to arrest, and good
lawyers had volunteered to prosecute all
such cases. Oliver also said invitations
had been sent to over two hundred and
nifty ministers asking them to attend the
amnesty meetings and express their opin.
ions, but none of them had come and
very few had responded even by letter.

When the Democratic convention Of Des

its love for the soldier by renominating
brave old Ben Culbertson for the House
again! Did it2 Hardly. II had no
further use for Ben. He had committed

men who defeated the great Democratic
scheme Of the nineteenth ccnlury--the
upbuilding Of the State and Nation that

A Lucky Man.

Pueblo tCol) chieftain, Sept 90.
Mr.. Albert Evans and his brother, j.
Z. Evans, of Rockville, were registered
at the Victoria hotel Saturday. The form
er purchased few days ago one-tcnth of
ticket No. 81, SOB in the September draw
ing Of the Louisiana State Lottery for
one dollar. When the telcgraphic returns
of the drawing were received the ticket
sold 10 Mr.. Evans was found to have
drawn one-tenth Of the fifty thousand
dollar prize, giving him the handsome
sum of FIVE thousand dollars for a dollar
invested. Mr. Evans has been in the
habit Of investing two or three dollars
every month for tickets for the past year,
but this is the first large prize he has
caught, He is a young man who has
followed coal mining for living but he
intends to invest this money in farm
and establish himself for life. Colorado
has been unusually favored this month,
as tenth of the $40 900 prize and a tenth
of 81, 900 were also sold here. Within
the last year proprietor of q cigar store
in Denver drew $15. 900, and Mr.. Ricketts,,
of Crested Butte, drew $50, 900. SO that il
is evident that the lottery company Is not
ahead of this State. whatever they may
be elsewhere, and the Centennial State
sustains its reputation for being a lucky
field for speculation with Pueblo as the
banner city.

For tho Anarchists.

CHICAGO, Oct. e7--Preparations are
already being silently made for the great

Regiment Infantry Illinois National
Guard that they win be required to be on

quired, The probability is that the First
regiment will be called ON to do the same.
1t Is understood. however, that neither
regiment will be called from the armory
except in the case Of actual necessity.
The police preparations around the jail
are extensive. Tho Sheriff has already
decided to limit the number of those
present TO those that the law requires to
be present to a few press representatives.
The gloom which has marked the con.
demned men for several days continues
to deepen on all except Parsons, who
keeps up excellent spirits, Quite sensa.
ton was caused among the inmates of
the woman's department Of the jail to.
day by an official request made that they
help sew up the shrouds aud caps to DO
used at the execution. A majority Of them
refused and the work will probably have
to be done on the outside.
